These days I am pretty much all about CrossFit but I have not forgotten my other "love". Hiking. I got an email reminder over the weekend that my city's annual Fall hiking series kicks off in late August and I am psyched. You basically take a guided or unguided hike through 10 of our 16 Metro parks. It is a great way to spend every Saturday for ten weeks...with your community, enjoying the changing of the leaves. I look forward to it each year. You get free refreshments after each hike and if … [Read more...]
It’s National Clean Out Your Purse Day!
Did you know that there was a National Clean Out Your Purse Day? Neither did I, until I saw a few tweets about it this morning. Ever the joiner I decided to get busy with the purse cleaning outing.

I kept get getting the weirdest stares from ladies on the circuit machines, like they did not understand why on … [Read more...]

When the days get shorter and darker many people get anxious, depressed, become socially withdrawn, have a hard time functioning at work, lose momentum and motivation, oversleep, can't concentrate, gain weight, and develop a craving … [Read more...]
Where Will My Passions Lead Me
Often times I wonder where all of my passions will ultimately lead me. I am very passionate about so many things I just wonder which one deserves the most cultivation and care so that I can truly make an impact...leave my mark. I am passionate about children, the environment, the organic movement, sustainable agriculture, ecologically and socially "fair" food, eating local, and art among other things. So when I dream of what I want my life to be I have a hard time picking a path and sticking … [Read more...]
